I have a pasting problem, that I think shouldn't be a problem. I still use Kermit for my terminal emulator, because I can do 132 columns by 43 rows and it does Tektronix graphics. I haven't found a Windows terminal program yet that will do Tektronix. After I do a graph, I sometimes want to print it out. Under windows, I can press ALT-PrtScn and copy the screen to the clipboard. When I examine the clipboard the hole image is there. I can the open up paint, and paste the image onto the screen, but it only pastes as much as can actually be seen. Even when I expand paint to full screen (640x480), and make the palate and tools hidden, I can't fit the whole clipboard onto the screen. Is there some way around this problem short of getting a multisync monitor so I can go to 800x600. I have to go through a slightly elaborate scheme to get a meaningful print out. Kermit draws Tektronix in low intensity white on black (I haven't been able to figure out how to get black on white in tek mode). Clipboard faithfully maintains this. If I try to paste this onto a monochrome paint document, it comes out black on black. I can paste it onto a color paint document. I can then select the viewable region ( but not anything outside :-( ), invert the colors to get grey on white, and save it to a temporary file. I can then reload the temporary file in monochrome mode, and presto, I get black lines on white background, which I can then print out. Anyone have a simple windows utility that will take the whole clipboard and allow it to be printed as is or with colors inverted. -- Kevin Allred allred@emx.cc.utexas.edu allred@ut-emx.UUCP

You can change the size of the logical page in Paintbrush by going into Image Attributes and typing in the number of horizontal and vertical pixels (I think it displays numbers in inches but you can click on "pels" and then type in the number of pixels). Then, click "OK" and go to File New. (Changes to Image attributes don't take effect until you do a File New). This should put scroll bars on the screen and allow you to scroll an 800x600 image on a 640x480 screen. Sanjay Aiyagari (hd7x@vax5.cit.cornell.edu)

The folowing solution was mailed to me by rs@tnoibbc.ibbc.tno.nl (Rob Schoenmaker): First zoom out, then paste the image from the clipboard, click outside the hatched area, zoom in, et voila ! This indeed works, but there remains one final problem spot. As I mentioned in my original posting, I need to select the whole image, which is bigger than the viewable area, to invert it to black lines on white background. As far as I was able to determine there is no way to select anything when zoomed out. I suspect that it is possible to invert the image in four pieces, but this would be inconvenient. Does anyone know of a way to select the whole bitmap, and not just the viewable region? Too bad print doesn't have the option to print the bitmap as a negative image. Does anyone know how to get Kermit to do white on black in Tek mode? I did try this on a different system that had a multisync monitor with the 800x600 and 1024x768 drivers. With the bigger viewable area, it was much easier. Thanks again. -- Kevin Allred allred@emx.cc.utexas.edu allred@ut-emx.UUCP

(Twice) - Then choose "Zoom _In" (Ctrl+Z) from the _View menu. Try this. Let me (or us if you post) know if this does/doesn't work. If you need a better description, again let me know. I think this should be added to the monthly FAQ post. It was answered for me a couple of months ago, and I am finding that other people ask the same question. +-----------------+---------------------------+-----------------------------+ | Bill Poitras | Polygen Corporation | {princeton mit-eddie | | (bill) | Waltham, MA USA | bu sunne}!polygen!bill | | | | bill@polygen.com | +-----------------+---------------------------+-----------------------------+
